Men's League 2008 Information

Welcome League Participants

In an attempt to make your league season more enjoyable I’m asking all participants to do a couple of things this year. As you can see we have made an attempt to collect everyone’s e mail address. This will make it easier to communicate amongst each other. Periodically we have situations which come up unexpectedly and it is a lot easier and quicker to communicate with everyone with a mass e mail. Also, it will make it easier for teams to communicate from one week to another.

Because we cannot all be at the course at the same time from week to week I would like teams to communicate either by e mail or phone. One of the complaints I hear in regards to league is that some teams sit around for hours waiting for the team they are scheduled to play. I highly recommend calling or e mailing the team you are playing a week prior to playing them. If you are playing a team that is unable to make it until 5:45 you will know not to show up and expect to play your match at 4:00.

If you are not able to make it for league play it is your responsibility to find a substitute. Everything you need in order to communicate or call a sub has been provided to you on this site. It is OK to make up your match and or play the match before the scheduled Tuesday date. If you do choose to make it up we ask that you make it up within a week of the scheduled date. If a team is unable to find a sub or schedule a makeup they will be forced to forfeit. By forfeiting you will obviously be accumulating a loss but you also lose 25 valuable points.

For those of you who are new to our Club and or have never had an established handicap we have a formula to use in the meantime. It is very important that you get activated in the GHIN computer as soon as possible. The fee for the golf season is $20. You will need a number of 18 hole rounds entered in order to establish a handicap. The formula we use for those without a handicap is as follows:

Your Score – Course Rating for that Nine x 80%

For instance if you shot 44 and the course rating for that nine was 34.9 and you multiplied it by 80% your handicap for that nine would be 7.28 which would be rounded down to 7.

44 – 34.9 = 9.10 x 80% = 7.28

Each week you will be playing for a team total of $4.00. On the first night of league you will be paying $25 for the prize fund which is dispersed at the end of league season in Club Bucks. Each team earns $4.00 per win. New for 2008, we will be paying out the top 4 teams at the end of the season. The payout per team will be as follows:

1st $140.00 2nd $120.00 3rd $90.00 4th $70.00

All ties for Wins vs. Loss’s will be broken by the total number of points accumulated throughout the season. This is new for 2008. This will make it very important for teams to find substitutes and or makeup matches.

Thanks for playing this season and Good Luck!
